"I bought a few organic mangoes the other day and two of them were totally unripe (on-line grocery shopping’s dark side). They did smell amazing but were completely green, hard to bite, and were more on a tasteless side. Not letting any food go to waste is one of the aspects of greener living for me: Food waste makes up more than 20% of what’s in landfills and according to The American Chemistry Council American households throw away about $640 each worth of food. I think everyone could find a better way to spend those money. I decided to add sweetness to the existing amazing aroma and fix the texture issue by making this flavorful succade-meets-jam dessert. Perfect for your afternoon tea scone, great with waffles, pancakes–you name it. The recipe is super simple, it takes 30 min to make about 3 cups of the jam."

Preparation Time5 min

Cooking Time25 min

Cooking Vessel Size10 inch diameter sauce pan

Ingredients

2 medium mangoes, peeled, cubed
2 cups sugar
1 cup raisin (optional)
1 half medium orange juice
1 cup brewed cold tea (I used Earl Grey because of its aroma)

Put mango cubes into a pan, add sugar. Let it sit for an hour and release some juice if you have time, otherwise just add tea and squeeze orange from 1/2 orange. Add raisins.
Bring to a boil and reduce hit immediately. Simmer on low for about 25 min, stirring often. As water evaporates your mango cubes will appear to be coated in very thick, transparent, beautiful golden color syrup.
